  1. It's more the issue I know from other managers that they have certain players who follow them, anywhere they do. Cloughie had it with some of his squad elsewhere... (will refrain from uttering their names). Sinclair, for me, is the most likely of his ex players. But yes, I definitely agree with you re Tielemans. Another thing I hope he gets us doing is spreading the play more across the width of the pitch. We have a tendency, sometimes, to get boxed in and then the idea breaks down and we lose the ball. If we are to play passing football (which is still my preferred method, ironically), then we have got to be far more composed when in possession.
  2. Now Brendan is here, I think we have a better chance of getting more established players than we have done before. I think we need a link player in midfield, a new striker is a must (Wilson would be a very good shout, if he can get back to some of that pre injury form). I think Scott Sinclair and Daniel Sturridge could be on our radar, given their affinity to Rodgers, too. Both vastly experienced and both will only be 30 at the start/near to the beginning of next season. Lallana and Ings may also fall into that bracket but I wouldn't be surprised if he looks to some of his old clubs. I think we could see quite a busy summer, actually, thinking about it. Not probably on the same level we had with Sven but not far off.
  3. He came from the Parkhead Boys, A champion, our choice, Brendan Rodgers, Manager down Filbert Way, Cheer him on, And we'll watch the Foxes play! Maguire plays it from the back, Vardy leads our attack, Brendan Rodgers, Let's say it once again! 5000 to 1, Our hopes will never end. (Just throwing this out there as an idea to that tune...)
  4. I was in Church when the news came through after our Morning Service. Praise the Lord!
  5. Our World Cup winner and a true gentleman. In him and Shilton, our club were blessed with two of the best ever England keepers. No doubting that Gordon was probably the greatest of all time, though. A man who deserves to be called a Legend. RIP.
  6. Given the way the story has circulated throughout most of the season, I think Brendan Rodgers will probably be our Manager next season. I for one would be very pleased with his appointment and think he'd be a good choice for our club.
  7. If we can make this happen before Summer, let's pay the compensation to Celtic. Puel is just not the right fit for our club. In three games time, there is a very distinct possibility we will be in the bottom half of the table, without any cups to play for and no likelihood of bringing any new faces in this January because he has no intention of doing so. I felt for him at the end today but the first half proved the writing is on the wall. The defending was atrocious and if you look at his tenure overall, these problems keep occurring. Palace away, twice and at home, Bournemouth away, Cardiff and Southampton at home. Newport in the cup, too. I hate to say it but at the moment I expect a loss before every match because of how we have been playing. I haven't felt like that in years.
  8. Utter dross. The moments before their goal, he got tackled, waved his arms aside as if 'What can I do?' and watched on.
  9. Love this photo of them together after we'd just won the Title.
  10. Miss him so much in the dugout - so glad to see him back though doing this, shows the gentleman he is.
  11. I'm really angry that The Sun have been allowed to show this video or any media outlet for that fact. I won't bring myself to watch it because I think it is distasteful and also far too upsetting to watch people going airborne into their imminent death. Shame on the person who sent this to them. The only people who should be observing this sort of thing is the Police in their investigation.
  12. My own feelings are a memorial, similar to the one seen at Anfield (I think Bradford also had one) but also a statute of Vichai, probably alongside Claudio and Wes, holding the Premier League Trophy and one of his inspirational quotes adorned at the bottom of it. I also think THE KHUN VICHAI STAND would be most befitting, too.
  13. I think it's the right thing. The lads need to get back on that pitch and I'm sure - to a man - all of them will play with an intense vigour. Come what may, we're with you every step of the way boys!
  14. Was he moronic for saying what he did? Absolutely. Should the BBC do something about it, internally? That's their call. What we need to do is rally round together, grieve together, be there for one another and remember in all of this we have a football club we all call ours and we are a family. Don't let's let someone who makes ill judged remarks ad hoc detract from what really matters.
